18 July 2010 - Sunday:


I think that my body clock is just about caught up with the time zone/date line change.

Today started out like a beautiful fall day in Cleveland but ended like a rainy early winter day.


Walked down to the Flinders Street Station. The Melbourne Visitors Center is located across the street at Federation Square so spent some time collecting several brochures and other info. The Station and Square area is a pretty busy place and lots of people out and about. Once it started to drizzle, I figured that I better find a store to pick up an umbrella. (I had intended to bring an umbrella along with me, but.... - forgot!

So, jumped on the free tourist bus and traveled to the Harbor Town Shopping Center. Had to travel all the way to Australia just to buy a new umbrella - go figure.

Ate lunch at a restaurant at the shopping center and got on last bus back into the city. Lots of traffic as there was an Australia rules football (AFL) match at the nearby stadium. I had been thinking about getting a ticket for one of the AFL games this weekend. But will probably go to a match next weekend and use ticket from FM Global.

Couple of pictures below:




This picture for you Luke - all these train tracks, and no trains in sight.
